Relation of protein energy wasting to carotid intima media thickness in hemodialysis patients.
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) can reflect the degree of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk in hemodialysis patients. Factors such as advanced age, male gender, family history, and smoking can increase the risk of CIMT. In hemodialysis (HD) patients, lower serum albumin level was found to be correlated with higher CIMT. This study aimed to evaluate the relation between CIMT and protein energy wasting (PEW) diagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria of International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism (ISRNM) expert panel in HD patients. This study involved 45 HD patients who were divided into two groups according to the diagnostic criteria for PEW proposed by the ISRNM expert panel including group with PEW (11 patients) and group without PEW (34 patients). Caloric intake was evaluated by food frequency questionnaire for 3 days. Subjective global assessment (SGA) and malnutrition inflammation score (MIS) were fulfilled. Anthropometric measurements, as well as body composition, was evaluated by electrical bioimpedance analysis. Doppler ultrasonography was used to assess CIMT that was significantly higher in patients with PEW (p = 0.030). CIMT had significant positive correlation to age, SGA, and MIS (p = 0.008, 0.002, and 0.003, respectively). Significant negative correlation was observed between CIMT and serum albumin. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that serum albumin was the only predictor of mean CIMT. In conclusion, CIMT seems to be related to malnutrition in HD patients. Low serum albumin was the only predictor of CIMT.
